Morris District 54: School Closing Information

In an effort to provide for the safety of your child at all times, the Morris Elementary Schools have developed a plan for emergency school closings. The primary goal of this plan is to inform parents that schools are closed or that there will be an early dismissal due to inclement weather or other emergency.

Inclement Weather
If a cause for closing occurs before the opening of school in the morning, parents and teachers will be informed about the closing between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM through the following media:

Morris WCSJ-FM 103.1	CBS 2
Morris WJDK-FM 95.7	NBC 5
WGN 720-AM	WGN 9
WBBM 780-AM	FOX 32
	CLTV

If a school is closed for an emergency during the day, the following procedure will be utilized:

1. Notification to parents via radio announcements.

2. Arrangement for bus transportation.

3. Arrangement for crossing guards where necessary.

Parents are strongly encouraged to discuss with their children alternative arrangements in the event of emergency closing of school.
